![]() Our round-up includes budget and premium options, with standard DAB digital radio to various music streaming goodies. Then, you'll have to decide if you just want to listen to the radio or if you're interested in wi-fi and Bluetooth connectivity, DAB+ and streaming support, or even CD player functionality. Most importantly, when deciding what digital radio is right for you, you need to figure out whether you want something small and portable or larger and mains-powered, or if maybe you want a radio you can install in your car. While all of radios on this list give you access to hundreds of digital radio stations, some models include a number of useful features to boot, such as Bluetooth streaming and integration of your favourite music streaming service. Read the full review: Revo SuperConnect How to choose the best DAB radio for you You have to pay more for those extra features (and the room-filling sound) but if you want a premium radio with a whole lot more on offer than just DAB radio – and even act as your main sound system – this could well be the one for you. It's easy to use and the audio quality is impressive, too, with a weighty, grippy sound. So you should be able to play music from just about any source. But it's jam-packed with extra features, including internet radio, Bluetooth, network streaming and Spotify Connect, not to mention the same physical connections (analogue and digital, 3.5mm headphone jack) as its Stereo sibling. It's still a fair bit pricier than the standard DAB radio (but cheaper than the new SuperConnect Stereo). The new five-star Revo SuperConnect Stereo might have stolen the old dog's thunder, but rest assured, the original 2014 mono model (which won a 2016 What Hi-Fi? Award) still knows plenty of tricks. Read the full review: Ruark Audio R2 Mk4 Best DAB radio system A wonderfully complete radio that truly deserves your consideration. It's priced at the premium end for a radio, but you really do get what you pay for with the Ruark R2. And whether you're streaming, playing FM, DAB, or internet radio, the radio is easy to use thanks to the built-in controller or by using one of two third-party apps. It supports Spotify, Amazon Music and Deezer over wi-fi, while all other music can be streamed from your device over Bluetooth. It's also, as you'll have guessed, a wonderfully made unit in its own right, sporting that stunning wooden slatted front, a clear, crisp display and a high-quality cabinet build that screams of a product made with care and precision. The Ruark is an engaging, vibrant listen no matter the genre or playing method you're using. ![]() It has a rich, detailed sound that doesn't sacrifice any musicality or timing, with a particularly nuanced, natural way with voices that make a great radio truly great. It's a good thing too, considering its rather high price tag. The beautifully made Ruark stole our hearts pretty much as soon as it was out of the box, and things only got better once we'd fired it up and started listening. ![]() It's rare that we find audio products that achieve the Holy Trinity of sounding fantastic, looking sublime and being so easy to use that a newborn baby could probably find its way around the navigational menu, but the Ruark R2 (now in its fourth generation) has managed it, and in some style. Oh, what a lovely thing the Ruark Audio R2 Mk4 is. Hi-res audio and AirPlay 2 support would have been nice Read the full review: Roberts Revival Petite Best premium DAB radio For anyone yet to invite the joys of the original wireless into their lives, the Revival Petite is an ideal gateway radio. Considering its tiny dimensions, the Revival Petite sounds as big and detailed as you could ever hope – a credit to Roberts’ know-how when it comes to gleaning the best possible sound from a portable design. Once this illogical urge subsides however, this newest, smallest and most affordable radio in Roberts' retro Revival range reveals itself to be a serious, stone-cold winner.Īt £99 and boasting 20 presets (10 DAB and 10 FM), Bluetooth connectivity and a 20-hour portable battery, the Petite boasts an abundance of features for the money, but its sound is the star. The Roberts Revival Petite is an item that, without a scale of reference, appears roughly the size of a shoebox, but it's actually the size of a Greggs custard slice and is so beautifully styled – in such mouth-watering retro colourways – you may experience what psychologists call 'cute aggression' and want to try to break it.
